Type: EaxDataAreaSliceType;
The Type property returns type of analytical data area slice.
To add the required data slice type to analytical area, use IEaxDataAreaSlices.Add.
Executing the example requires that the repository contains an express report with the EXPRESS identifier containing a table.
Add link to the Express, Metabase system assemblies.
Sub UserProc;
Var
MB: IMetabase;
Express: IEaxAnalyzer;
Slice: IEaxDataAreaSlice;
Begin
// Get repository
MB := MetabaseClass.Active;
// Get express report
Express := MB.ItemById("EXPRESS").Bind As IEaxAnalyzer;
// Get data slice
Slice := Express.DataArea.Slices.Item(0);
// Display slice type in the console window
Select Case Slice.Type As Integer
Case 1: Debug.WriteLine("Slice type - Pivot");
Case 2: Debug.WriteLine("Slice type - Laner");
Case 3: Debug.WriteLine("Slice type - Relational");
End Select;
End Sub UserProc;
After executing the example the console displays the specified data slice type.
